I'm currently looking at ordering a new Golf GTD and I'd just like to ask people's opinion on the spec I've put together, I'm going for a 5 door DSG in Carbon Grey, I've added Tech Pack, Sport & Sound(purely for the red calipers) Rear Camera, High Beam Assist(I use this all the time on my current car)4 year warranty & service pack.
Anyone got any thoughts on anything I've missed out or things I could do without??
I did want to get the Pan Sunroof, would anyone recommend it?? I also wanted leather but it seems way overpriced at £1700
-
We have ordered:
5 Door manual in Reflex silver
Tech pack
Parking pack
Style pack
Rear side air bags
And i am thinking about Panoramic sunroof also but only if they do a deal on the price.
Are you getting the dealership to price match against drive the deal or Orange wheels?
-
Keyless entry is one of the best options imo. Very practical and extremely cool and you get the stop/start button rather than key ignition
-
I've had some prices from Drive the Deal and Carwow, I've walked into a couple of dealers and asked if they'll match them prices and they've said no, but I've been in contact with a guy on here who works in sales for VW and he's given me some quotes which at 1st glance seem quite good but I'm going to sit and look through them tomorrow, I've also got another dealer coming back to me with some prices tomorrow so I'll weigh up my options when I've got everything in front of me.
I'm keen on the sunroof but not the price, like you I'd be interested in seeing if it could be done at a lower price, I would like it so as the cabin didn't seem so dark.
The style pack, is that the chrome exhaust tips and door sills?? I might add that
-
Wish it was available with the GTD :cry:

I defo want keyless entry, I'm under the impression that's standard now, am I right in thinking that??

I have placed my order with VW Swindon how are a DTD partner in the south (possibly the only one) and it is fair to say i am Very happy with the deal :)

Think I've got your car with all the spec you've listed, bar the sport and sound pack (good call that though)......
The leather is expensive but I really wanted it for two reasons, 1) kids and there crud, 2) how I can be after training..... Both now cause me no issues as the seats are easy to clean.
I really like the panoramic roof, it's not a full folding sunroof but it does the job. Don't see many with it added so it's an nice bonus, with the grey it's subtle too as it blends in with the colour

Have you tried orange wheels?
Mine is getting built this week,
GTD
Oryx white
Pan roof
DSG
90% tints
Sport and sound pack
Parking pack
App connect.
Absoloutely cracking price through orange wheels.
-
I found Orange wheels thr same price as DTD and as DTD contacted me first (in fact still waiting to hear back from Orange deals on a couple of points) I decided to go with them. Price wise, nothing in it.
-
I have got you bud, I did phone orange wheels first and he asked me if I had been to the dealers first to get there price, I hadn't. He said to visit them first then get back in touch. I didn't need to because I just told my dealer I had been on the website. I ordered my car mid september. Been a long wait, never wish my life away but its been a bit of a wait, Incidentally I ordered it 2 days before the scandal went global.

The sound on the Sport & Sound pack is way better than the red calipers. I initially ordered mine for the calipers but I am really addicted to the growl it makes :laugh:
Car-Net App might be worth adding as its only £100.
-
Car Net app is now included as part of the Tech pack saving £100 :smiley:

That's good. I wasn't sure as its still an option on the VW site even if you add the Tech Pack.

If you like the high beam assist I would strongly recommend you consider the lane assist as this comes with dynamic headlights. They are brilliant. I went for all the options on my car and this is the best one by far.

I have HBA and had I actually known how the options actually pan out, I'd have ticked lane assist in an instant to get dynamic lighting - it was one of the launch headline pieces of tech and seemingly unavailable... but it was, you just needed to know where it was!
Same with Sport n Sound. "its just an internal sound device" said VW at the time. Oh no it isn't...
Stupid really, they could have had loads more of my money if they'd actually bothered to try and tell me what was actually available.
I'll be ticking both next time.

Why can't they offer that option on the estate? Sometimes VW baffles me.
On a side note does anyone have the plug and play sound system that is an option on the estate, it fits in the spare wheel?

Forecast build week 8, delivery week 12. Caved in and added panoramic sunroof :)

Can the growl be turned off or is it a permanent thing?? I'm just wondering in case the novelty wore off and became annoying

Full price or did you squeeze a deal out of them??

Yeah I did speak to them but they said they only come into play at the last minute when all the leg work has been done, when everything is finalised and ready to go they said to give them a call

Thanks for the heads up, the dynamic lights is something I'd like but the lane assist isn't something I'd like, we have lane assist on some vehicles at work and it's annoying at times, I think I'll search out a dealer with a demo car with it on and give it a try

I don't think you'll regret it - use mine all the time - its a great option, it lightens up the dark interior
